I'm Rob Marshall, a consultant who specialises in the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager product. I like to share, i do so by blogging and helping out when I can in the MS SMS newsgroups and participating in the ConfigMgr MVP program.
I was awarded and joined the program in 2009. It'd be an understatement to say it has to be one of the best experiences an IT engineer can have, if they really enjoy specialising in a product.
My biggest weapon for troubleshooting is, my formidable knowledge, no, only joking, you, the community. I find if I cannot answer a question, then I can usually find the answer from using Bing\Google, pouring over the documentation, and if that doesn't work, tinkering in mine or someone elses virtual lab.
The blogs pretty much about ConfigMgr, but it is also a platform for me to express my random urges to display something I've stumbled across, and that I imagine would entertain you or what not as equally as it did me.
WMUG are very much delighted to invite you to an entire day of ConfigMgr, presented by none other than Senior Program Manager Wally Mead.
The day is hosted at the Microsoft Campus in Reading on the 4th of November, and Wally will be covering ConfigMgr 2012 with his usual gusto, and unique way of answering long questions with short answers!
This is a day not to be missed if ConfigMgr 2012 is on your radar right now, from managers to hands-on IT staff, by the end of the day you’ll leave with a pretty good understanding from top to bottom of the latest version of ConfigMgr.
I’ll be there along with the rest of the WMUG guys, and free to chat about the new product features, so if you spot me feel free pull me to the side and ask away! But be warned … I’ll check if you haven’t read the growing online documentation yet, and remove you from the SWAG raffle at the end of the day if the answers in the documentation!
We’re set on recording the day again, so a video will eventually go online for those that miss the event.
